🧭 DXpedition Purpose & Spirit:

More than just chasing DX, the PX0FF operation embraced innovation, mentorship, and community — featuring high-quality signal reports, impressive low-band performance, and a light-hearted team spirit (with “innovative beer constructions” 😄). Their remote-loop receive setups and 18m Spiderpole combos set a new benchmark for field operations.

From first-time CW contacts to FT8 QRP heroes, hams worldwide praised the team’s dedication and high standards. With messages from every corner — EU, NA, JA, ZS, and beyond — PX0FF’s footprint will be remembered for both its scale and style.
